Matthew 2
1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of King Herod, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying,
Che Yesu ŵapagwile mmusi wa ku Beselehemu, muchilambo cha ku Yudea, kele katemako che Helode ali mwenye. Napagwa pe, ŵandu ŵaŵaimanyichisye nnope ndondwa kutyochela kungopochelo lyuŵa ŵaiche ku Yelusalemu.
2 “Where is he who is born King of the Jews? For we saw his star in the east, and have come to worship him.”
Ŵausisye ŵandu, “Ana alikwapi mwanache jwapagwile, kuŵa Mwenye jwa Ŵayahudi? Tujiweni ndondwa jakwe pajikopochele kungopochelo lyuŵa ni weleu tuiche kukwapopelela.”
3 When King Herod heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
Mwenye che Helode paŵapilikene yeleyo ni ŵapwele ntima, ŵelewo pamo ni ŵandu wose ŵa ku Yelusalemu.
4 Gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he asked them where the Christ would be born.
Nipele, ŵaaŵilasile pamo achakulungwa wose ŵambopesi ni ŵakwiganya Malajisyo ga Akunnungu gaŵapele che Musa, ŵausisye kuti, “Ana Kilisito Jwakuwombola chapagwe kwapi?”
5 They said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for this is written through the prophet,
Nombewo ŵajanjile, “Mu musi wa ku Beselehemu, muchilambo cha ku Yudea, pakuŵa yeleyo ni yaitite pakulembekwa ni jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu,
6 ‘You Bethlehem, land of Judah, are in no way least among the princes of Judah; for out of you shall come a governor who shall shepherd my people, Israel.’”
‘Mmwe Beselehemu chilambo cha ku Yudea, mmwe nganimma jwamwana kose pasikati misi ja chilambo cha ku Yudea, pakuŵa kutyochela kukwenu chakopochele chilongola juchiŵalongosye ŵandu ŵangu, Ŵaisilaeli.’”
7 Then Herod secretly called the wise men, and learned from them exactly what time the star appeared.
Pelepo, che Helode ŵaaŵilasile pachisyepela ŵanyawo ŵaŵaimanyichisye nnope ndondwa ni ŵausisye katema chi jele ndondwa jo pijakopochele.
8 He sent them to Bethlehem, and said, “Go and search diligently for the young child. When you have found him, bring me word, so that I also may come and worship him.”
Nipele ŵatumile ku Beselehemu aninkuti, “Njaulanje nkauchilichisye uchenene ngani sya jwele mwanache. Mwamalaga kummona, nkauje kukuusalila, ni une jwakwe nyaule ngaatindiŵalile.”
9 They, having heard the king, went their way; and behold, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them until it came and stood over where the young child was.
Paŵamalisisye kumpilikanila mwenye, ŵajendelechele ni ulendo wao nipele jele ndondwa jo jiŵajiweni kungopochelo lyuŵa jalongolele mmbujo mwao mpaka pajaiche ni kwima pachanya nyuumba jiŵaliji mwanache.
10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.
Paŵajiweni jele ndondwa jo ŵasengwile nnope.
11 They came into the house and saw the young child with Mary, his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Opening their treasures, they offered to him gifts: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
Ŵajinjile nkati ni ŵammweni mwanache jula pamo ni che Maliamu achikulugwe, ŵatindiŵalile ni kunkotamila. Pelepo ni ŵagopwele mmalombo gao ni ŵampele ntuuka, sahabu ni ubani ni mauta gagakuŵilanjikwa manemane.
12 Being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they went back to their own country another way.
Akunnungu ŵakanyisye mu sagamisi kuti akaujila sooni ku che Helode, nipele ŵausile kumangwao kwa litala line.
13 Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, “Arise and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and stay there until I tell you, for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.”
Paŵamasile kutyoka achalendo ŵala, katumetume jwa kwinani jwa Ambuje ŵankopochele che Yusufu mu sagamisi ni kwasalila, “Njimuche! Munjigale mwanache jo pamo ni achikulugwe ni mmutuchile ku Misili. Ntamanje kweleko mpaka pachinantanjile, pakuŵa che Helode akusaka kummulaga mwanache ju.”
14 He arose and took the young child and his mother by night and departed into Egypt,
Nipele che Yusufu ŵajimwiche ni kunjigala mwanache pamo ni achikulugwe, ŵatyosile chilo, ŵajawile ku Misili.
15 and was there until the death of Herod, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, “Out of Egypt I called my son.”
Ŵatemi kweleko mpaka che Helode paŵajasiche. Yeleyo yatendekwe kuti liloŵe liŵaŵechete Ambuje kwa litala lya jwakulondola jwakwe liŵe isyene, “Nammilasile mwanangu kutyochela ku Misili.”
16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked by the wise men, was exceedingly angry, and sent out and killed all the male children who were in Bethlehem and in all the surrounding countryside, from two years old and under, according to the exact time which he had learned from the wise men.
Che Helode paŵaimanyi kuti ŵaŵaimanyichisye ndondwa kwa nnope ŵala ŵalambwisye, ŵatumbile nnope. Ŵalajisye ŵandu ŵakwe akaaulaje ŵanache achanandi wose ŵachilume ŵapagwile ku Beselehemu ni mumbali mwakwe ŵaali ni yaka iŵili ni paasi ja pelepo. Ŵatesile yeleyo malinga ni katema paŵaimanyi kutyochela kwa ŵele ŵaŵaimanyichisye nnope ndondwa.
17 Then that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying,
Yeleyo ni igatite kuŵa isyene maloŵe gagaŵechetekwe kwa litala lya che Yelemia juŵaliji jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu achitiji,
18 “A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children; she wouldn’t be comforted, because they are no more.”
“Liloŵe lipikaniche ku Lama ko, kulila kwa kupeteka ni kulila kwa malumbo. Che Laheli akwalilila ŵanache ŵao, ni ngaakusaka kwamyalasya, pakuŵa ŵanache wose ajasiche.”
19 But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying,
Paŵawile che Helode, katumetume jwa kwinani jwa Ambuje ŵankopochele che Yusufu mu sagamisi ku Misili kula,
20 “Arise and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel, for those who sought the young child’s life are dead.”
ŵansalile, “Njimuche! Munjigale mwanache jo pamo ni achikulugwe, mmuje sooni ku chilambo cha Isilaeli, pakuŵa ŵandu ŵaŵasakaga kummulaga mwanache jo ŵamale kwasika.”
21 He arose and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
Nipele che Yusufu ŵajimwiche ni ŵanjigele mwanache pamo ni achikulugwe, ŵausile ku chilambo cha Isilaeli.
22 But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea in the place of his father, Herod, he was afraid to go there. Being warned in a dream, he withdrew into the region of Galilee,
Nambo che Yusufu paŵapilikene kuti che Alikelao mwanache ju che Helode, akamulile umwenye wa atatigwe, ŵajogwepe kwaula ku Yudea. Nombe, paŵamasile kukanyikwa mu sagamisi, ŵajawile mbande sya ku Galilaya,
23 and came and lived in a city called Nazareth; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophets that he will be called a Nazarene.
ŵajawile kutama mu musi waukuŵilanjikwa ku Nasaleti. Yele ni iyatite pakuŵa isyene maloŵe gagaŵechetekwe kwa litala lya ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu gagakuti, “Chaŵilanjikwe jwa ku Nasaleti.”
